I took today off to drive to my hometown and see my niece’s spring. Musical. My mom and aunt were with me because they flew to Boston from myrtle beach last weekend and spent the week with me. It’s been so nice having them but man, am I ready to have my space back. Lol.
Also, we have FINALLY signed the contract to start our huge kitchen remodel. I cannot wait to see this 80’s kitchen be gone!!.
My roomba was a giant waste of $. CS has been less than helpful and I can’t really sit at home for a hour+ to troubleshoot a cycle.
It just took 10 mins to find home. It used to get stuck in our foyer, so I lessened the area it cleans, but yeah, an expensive confused appliance I guess. Also I won’t run it when we’re gone at work bc I don’t want to scare the dog.
This rant brought to you by trying to run it before we were up for the day.
Headed to the children’s museum to try and tire my kid out. She slept in yesterday and then would not go to bed. At least today she was up normal time.
I am so annoyed with DH. So last week DS had baseball practices and he got his uniform shirt. I placed it with all of our stuff (which was like a bag with DH's dinner, the kids water bottles, jacket, etc). I had to leave early to start packing for our trip the next day and told DH to grab everything. When they got home I was like "did you make sure to grab the shirt" he said "yes, I left it downstairs with everything else"
The next morning I went downstairs, it was not there with the bat/glove. DH said it must be in the car. I asked him to get it but then had to go to court and then I forgot about things because we left on the trip. Yesterday I was like "did you grab the shirt out of your car" and he was like "what shirt"
Yeah so he totally forgot the shirt. I am sure the shirt is no longer at the park. I don't know if the coaches have any extras as they haven't responded to my emails yet, but I doubt they do. He has a game and an opening day ceremony this weekend. The worst part is he just got mad at me instead of just saying "I am sorry that I forgot the shirt, and dismissed you when you asked me to go get it, and got annoyed with you when you kept asking me about it"
I've stayed up late the last 2 nights in a row, just because I was watching TV and messing around on my phone and not feeling tired at bedtime. So, I'm tired today. I'm glad it's Friday, though I have to get up early tomorrow morning anyway.
A friend/former coworker is in DC for a conference this week, so I'm driving down early tomorrow morning to meet up with him. We are hoping to catch some of the cherry blossoms, if they are still on the trees by morning, and I'm hoping going early will avoid some of the crowds. We are also going to eat breakfast/lunch at some point. I'm looking forward to seeing him. I was thinking about it and I haven't seen a single friend that I've known for more than a few months since we moved last July. It will be good to see someone who I've known a long time!
Tonight is the series finale of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and I am super emotional about it. They released one of the songs yesterday and I sobbed on the toilet, so that’s how tonight’s going to go. I’ve never felt this way about a show. I think it’s because in addition to watching, I’ve been consumed by the music for the past 4 years. I am wearing my Broom Darryl shirt and my “I’m Not Sad You’re Sad” sweatshirt. My “Let’s Have Intercourse” pillow is ready for me to snuggle. I have rose, sushi, and pretzels for dinner. I am still so not ready for this.
My H went on a trip to a car race with his friend and I am really glad he won’t see the ugly crying lol.

My kid has his first cold so I’m letting him do what he wants, including eating a pickle at 830am. He is covered in snot.
FIRST COLD?!?! My kid had like 5 of them by 1 year. Ha. Kids with colds are disgusting.
I am so behind on paperwork. My desk at home looks like a bomb exploded. I haven't submitted pet insurance claims in like 8 months. A contact lense rebate was never submitted and is now too late to be submitted. WOMP WOMP.
I caught up on pet insurance and started to clean it up last night. I really need a day home alone to attack it. My desk becomes a dumping ground for everyone's paper and it's out of control.
It's been a crazy/busy week, with some work drama thrown in.
PDQ
I've talked here before about my new co-worker that isn't really a team player. HR (small company, so HR is really one person and THE BIGGEST office gossiper...) told me that my boss and the CFO have had major issues with this co-worker. She pretty much refused to do the work assigned to her, and laid out it and several other complaints to the CFO in an email. She was super disrespectful to our boss both in the email (said boss was "unfit" for her job b/c she doesn't have a CPA - boss has been in her position for over 5yrs now) and in person. I will be super surprised if she lasts through next week. Apparently this all hit the fan Tues, and they met with HR to come up with a plan on Wed. CFO was out yesterday, and boss is out today. I know they are meeting to make a final decision on Monday.
I... really hope they don't keep new co-worker. It's clear she's not happy, and she's attempting to convince other staff to undermine boss. Being a small company, we don't need that kind of poison around here. Plus, if she's refusing to not do the work, it doesn't seem worth it to me. I'm having to pick up her slack and can't turn my attention to the new tasks I was assigned. I'd rather know all what I need to get done at once, instead of having to jump in and bail her out.
I'm arguing with H via text right now. Happy Friday!
I am the worst about this. We'll disagree about something over text and he'll be all mature about it and say "let's discuss this tonight" and I'm like "NO we will do this NOW!" I should work on that.
karinothing - omg I would rage. the forgetting something and then getting on defensive and arguing/trying to blame me for it is exactly what my husband would do and the sole reason of the majority of our arguments.
knx9211- get out of here with this first cold lol. E is literally on cold # 7 since he was born. Thanks mom who can’t keep her sick kid home ever.
We spent the night in ER because DSs fever spiked and he was really laboured in his breathing, had a barky cough and started panting. His fever got to around 103.5F and the poor guy was just crying inconsolably and saying “owwie” over and over again. Turns out that cold he’s been fighting turned into croup. He seems to be a bit more himself now but last night/early morning was rough.

Yes, I think we only got lucky this long because he’s not in daycare, my husband is NEVER sick, and I only work in the office twice a week. Easy to stay healthy when you don’t go anywhere! Ha

Oh no!! This is so sad. Hopefully he’s better soon.

Xavier didn’t get his first cold until he was almost 2 years old. Wes? Maybe 2 months? It definitely helps when you can stay away from germs.

I lost my mom really suddenly nearly 6 years ago. This morning I was trying to figure something out and felt confused by the whole thing (women's health related). My husband called me to say good morning and I just unexpectedly started crying, probably not what he was expecting during a quick phone chat.
Not having a mom to call for advice/questions is really hard. It seems like new things pop up all the time where I really need her and it's just a constant reminder of how much I miss her.

Watching a friends 18 mo old today. She is so sweet and is pretty much an easy kid. It is 38 today after a week of much normal temperatures. Plus. Rain. Of course it will start long before it’s time to get older sis off the bus

I'm so glad that it's Friday. I have been fighting with a cold all week and I want zero responsibility for a couple days.
I got a title change at work and I changed my linkedin profile to reflect. I have been getting all kinds of congratulatory emails. I didn't get promoted, they just changed my title. But, that's okay. It does look like a promotion, I guess.
Work is finally slowing down. Things were so frantic for so long and now I feel like I have nothing to do.
I woke up this morning thinking about when and how long I’d be able to take a nap this afternoon. I’m so tired.
DS is in 7th grade and is on the track team (first year). He had 2 meets this week and got 2nd place in the 1600 at both. The coaches also had him try the high jump (without ever practicing) and it was hilariously bad. We all got a good laugh out of it, including DS. He says he likes track so hopefully he’ll stay on the team each year so I never have to deal with another baseball season in my life.
It’s supposed to be nice this weekend so I’m going to clean my car out really well. It’ll be so nice to have a clean, detailed car.
DD has pink for the 4th time this school year (almost made it 5 months since last one). I was suppose to sit on job interviews for a new activities director at my school today and coach at a track meet. It always seems to be the days that I really need to be at work and DH is in the process of switching jobs so can’t take PTO or he loses benefits.
So glad it’s Friday! Duh, lol. Does anyone not think that? I guess if you work Saturdays, no. Anyway.
I’m looking forward to a weekend at home since we’re going out of town next week and I’ll be out of town the weekend after that.
We’re going to see Us tonight and I’m both excited and terrified. Probably 40% excited, 60% scared. I don’t usually like horror movies, but I read a LOT of articles about just how scary it is and I think I can handle it, plus it’s just gotten such good reviews I want to see it. Fingers crossed!

My editing system changed its format, so I had had to use a new file format. It's so incredibly clear and awesome for what we do----and too advanced for my clients' computers. BAH! so I have to re-do 3 cases over the weekend and find a new editing system. mother effer.

My Mother's Day gift this year is a mini photo shoot with my girls, and I am SO excited. I loved our family beach photos we had done over the summer, and no offense to H but I am so looking forward to having photos with just my girls. <3 I don't even typically like doing photo sessions or having my picture taken, but after losing 45 pounds since October 2017, things have changed.
Tomorrow night I am doing another designer bag bingo with the women in my family. We had such a good time at the last one, so I am pretty excited to go again. I am not excited that my Mom asked me to drive her and my Aunt and my Uncle's gf, because my Mom and the bingo hall are way out of my way, but whatever. I probably won't get home until like 2am though, and ouch. lol
